I made a similar list a few years ago but can't find it just now. I think it was actually a bit longer, but also incomplete. That's a lot of drugs! See how easy it would be to apply personal anti-gun politics to this situation.

Best advice is to not take these drugs, and if you do take them, quit. The truth is that many of them are far more likely to kill you (and others) than is a personal firearm. It's an evil racket pushing pills.

Big pharma is working against America

If all these prescription meds can get your gun taken away, then that has to mean that although they are sold as aids to help make people normal, the truth is that they actually make people abnormal. WTF?

How did this perverse reversal in common sense come to be acceptable? Big, big profits and a generation of baby boomers raised in a postWW2 drug culture.

They forgot aspirin.

I took Ativan for awhile a few years ago, and again earlier this year when I was hospitalized, as a sleep aid. (Ever try sleeping in the average hospital ward?) When I was discharged from rehab, I was required by Medicare to sign a statement to the effect that I agreed that they could order me in for a psychiatric evaluation if they opted to do so, on the grounds that I was suffering from "an anxiety disorder" - based solely on my having been prescribed the Ativan. Unbelievable.

I believe the idea is if someone has a condition that requires A to Z to fix, they could likely go off their meds, and be a threat.

Do not take my statement as agreeing with what they are trying to do, it is the explanation I was given by a doctor. If the doctor records that they have even written such a prescription, regardless if you fill it or not, take it or not, it is on record. Those centralized electronic medical records that are supposed to help you in case of accident or injury? Yeah, those....

Sounds Unconstitutional to me. But really, force is the only authority in this country. The Constitution means $#@!, the only people that have any power are the ones with a monopoly on force.

That's outrageous. I notice some light duty anti-anxieties and popular anti-depressants there. Not exactly the stuff that links to violence. I think we should first apply this list to congress and take their guns . Then military leaders , then the Military, the rest of the government. Lead by example! I'd like to see ANY science to support any of this other than maybe the anti-psychotics and even that's iffy.
